In this paper, the coverage of 3.5 GHz is studied by means of a full-scale trial with a NR testbed. With beamforming the increased propagation losses at 3.5 GHz compared to 2.1 GHz can be compensated and the coverage was demonstrated to be on par with 2.1 GHz LTE fixed antenna coverage both outdoor and indoor.
